Winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The rain stopped 2 weeks ago.It rained for about 5 weeks with only 1 dry day each week.Wet and windy ,i was going batty!!!!!!!!Then last week it cleared up and got really cold;it snowed everywhere in France except for this region.The last week weve had really heavy frosts with wednesay and yesterday being the coldest ,-6° and -7° in the mornings.BBBRRRRR!!!!!! At least it wasnt raining,until i woke this morning to -YES!!!!! more rain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its not too cold, maybe5 or 6°.Again ,its snowing everywhere else but here
Lola has been home from school with a bit of a flu this week.A viral thing thats kept most of her class at home.She's alot better today and i'm sure she'll be better for her school xmas break which starts tomorrow.I'm sure santa will be good to her this year as she has worked very hard at school and had excellent results
Were getting organised for xmas and preparing for the xmas lunch here with 14 of the family coming.We're the only ones that can fit them all in together.looking forward to plenty of good food and wine.
I have only been surfing once a week lately with the conditions being less than ideal.I had a good session last week with jez and i and 1 other guy brave enuogh to tackle the cold conditions.It was 3-4 ft and some fun Left and right peaks,not perfct but we have to take what we can get at the moment ,so if its offshore and surfable we jump on it right away(even if its 2°-3°)Water temp is still not too cold at 14°, so its still bearable and i havent needed my hood yet so its not too bad. Its usually colder on the beach looking at it than it is in the water; and of course getting changed afterwards isnt much fun.With 2 winter wetsuits and 2 sets of bootys it means i can always have a dry suit to put on- definitely makes it easier
